The best confectioners Aix-En-Provence

The calissons of the Confiserie du Roy René are among the best in Aix. Founded in 1920, it brings together the factory, the Calisson Museum and the shop. On direct sale, small calissons high in colour and flavour as well as a whole range of "spreads", cooked in a cauldron and combined with the famous Calisson du Roy René cream! In spring, home-made ice creams. Take the opportunity to visit the museum free of charge and observe the workshops where these sweets are made.

Opened in 1830, the Brémond confectionery is Aix's first and oldest calisson factory, located at the time on Cours Mirabeau. Brémond calissons are distinguished by their aromas and textures: candied melon, crushed almonds, candied orange and lemon, and the melting/cracking properties of powdered sugar. The company also produces other sweets, including the famous olivettes, chocolate almonds, candied fruits and marrons glacés, as well as savoury products, oils and tapenades. A treasure trove of local gifts!
